Petition Against the Mexican Gray Wolf

Newborn horse colt killed by Luna pack Mexican wolves. One of many depredations ignored by FWS.

The Mexican wolf is a non-native, hybrid captive bred animal. The
population has shown increased habituation behavior and does not have
the natural wariness of man that wildlife naturally posses.

Due to
its listing as a species of gray wolf under the 10 J section of the
Endangered Species act, we do not believe this wolf is still considered
endangered under the the Endangered Species Act we believe it is
technically subject to control measures authorized under the 10J rule.
Control measures that the US Fish and Wildlife service have chosen to
cease implementing.

These animals have been released and remain
un-managed in clear violation of the 10J and the 1998 final rule for the
sole purpose of implementing societal change which is illegal under the
Endangered Species Act.

Our task and purpose as rural Americans is to expose the Mexican wolf recovery agendafor
what it is and in addition, ensure that problem wolves are subject to
the proper wildlife management to ensure the health safety and well
being of the citizens of the rural Southwest.

We the undersigned, insist that ranchers and others impacted by wolf damage be compensated for property loss attributed to wolves.

We
the undersigned, demand that the United States Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS) cease further releases of the Mexican gray wolf into New
Mexico and Arizona and consider no plans to release these animals into
Texas, Utah, and Colorado.

We the undersigned demand that wolves
that are in the presence of rural children, or are defined under the
1998 10J Rule as problem wolves be removed or lethally controlled.We
the undersigned insist that the 98 Mexican wolf final Rule criteria are
upheld to the fullest extent possible in order to protect ranchers and
other involved parties from the damage these wolves have and continue to
cause. This effort includes our support for permanent or lethal removal
of livestock depredating wolves in accordance with the 1998 final Rule.

Should the wolf population fail to flourish under these legal
requirements, We demand the program be terminated as required by the
1998 10-J rule. The Endangered Species Act requires only implementing
programs that are practicable not those that continually damage small
rural communities and fail year after year to sustain themselves.

Discussion

Monique DurhamI am firmly against the reintroduction of any predators in New Mexico and surrounding states, particularly wolves.

The West of the U.S. is a magnificent place--people come from all over the world and are in awe of the beauty of the West. Ranching, rodeos, are a national heritage, it is a living art heritage. It must be preserved and not thrown to the wolves, the four legged as well as the two legged.
Thank you for taking the time to set up this petition.

Joan Bushong1395082860March 17, 2014 3:01 PMI am opposed to the reintroduction of the Mexican wolf or any wolves. Introducing major predators into productive sheep, goat and cattle areas will devastate the livestock, and wildlife industry, which is a major part of our economy all across our nation. Agriculture and private property rights must be protected. That is what free enterprise is all about!

Our declining mule deer herds doesn't need another major predator. Mountain lions and coyotes are enough, not to mention all the domestic animals that are going to be prey for them.
